What to bring
- Shin guards under the socks. No shin guards, no playing. Referees check.
- Cleats or turf shoes. No toe cleats or metal studs.
- Water. Not every field has a fountain.
- A ball for practice. Size 3 through 8U, size 4 for 10U and 12U, size 5 after that.
Leave jewelry, earrings and watches at home, even taped over. Casts and splints can’t play. Padded braces, hearing aids and insulin pumps are fine.
Rain and smoke
We play in light rain. The city closes grass fields when they’re soaked, and coaches hear from us by Friday evening if Saturday is off.
For smoke we go by the AQI on airnow.gov, not PurpleAir. Smoke cancellations go out by 7 pm the night before.
| AQI | Practices | Games |
|---|---|---|
| Under 50 | On | On |
| 50 to 99 | Lighter, more breaks | On, more breaks |
| 100 to 120 | Coach decides | Coach and referee decide at the field |
| Over 120 | Off | Off |
On the sideline
The referee is somebody’s mom or dad, or a middle schooler doing their third game.
- Cheer for both teams. Leave the coaching to the coach.
- Nobody argues with the referee. If something needs raising, email your division commissioner afterward.
- A hurt player comes off until the referee waves them back. After a possible head injury, they’re done for the day.
